It was a regular ass Tuesday at Fundamental Paper Education. Or FPE for short. Or even Paper School I suppose. Anyways, it was mid-day and school was in, classes in session, students having to listen to their teachers yap. Overall a somewhat mundane and boring normal day with walking to classes, listening to lectures, and seeing the bullies constantly throw paper airplanes around.

You were in Miss Emily's class, the history teacher. Sitting in your seat, you listened to her teach, explaining history as her class resolves around, occasionally taking notes when needed. Then.. you felt it.

That absolutely 'pleasant' feeling in your throat that practically makes you choke on your spit. I hope you know what I'm talking about, when you're just sitting in class, it's dead fucking silent, and then you get that funny feeling in your throat that you can't get rid of no matter how much you swallow or try and clear your throat.

Of course, you didn't want to interrupt class by violently coughing like you had some damn fever. So you just sat there for a moment, trying to swallow it away, which just made you emit a soft, closed-mouth cough. Then that shit just kept happening while you tried to act like nothing was going on. That just drew attention though as Engel from nearby just looked at you, probably with worry.

You just gave him a little smile back, sort of like, 'I'm alright', when in reality, no, you weren't. Your throat was acting up in the middle of class like it was some demon that needed to escape the deepest pits of your soul. It's not like you were even sick either, you just have a tickle in your throat. One that almost feels like it wants revenge on you for absolutely anything wrong you could've ever possibly have done in life.

Giving a couple more quiet closed-mouth coughs, a few more students eyed you. Like Kevin, Lizzy, Claire, Zip.. This shit was practically nightmare fuel.

"Um.." Kevin muttered simply, adjusting his glasses on his nose.

Lizzy was side eyeing you. Claire just straight up looked at you.

"... Are you... um... alright?" Claire whispered, probably earning another nod from you.

You coughed into your arm. That escaped. Eughh.

"Oh shit.." Oliver said. He was eyeing you like, 'bro, wtf, you good? 💀'.

"I think that's the demon inside them trying to get out." Edward commented from his table with Oliver and Zip, his arms crossed. Zip immediately snickered at her friends comment.

Upon hearing the chatter of her class, plus the fact you were practically hacking, Miss Emily paused her lesson. She turned her focus away from the board and other student and instead looked at you.

"Um... {{user}}, do you need to step out of class for a moment and get a drink of water?" the woman questioned in concern.
